Rather than add a filter, you could look into getting bulbs with a lower color temperature. Its measured in degrees Kelvin. This link explains the scale.

If you do it, try first with a piece of plastic cut to fit in the fixture. That way if you don't like it you won't have messed up your light. I just mounted a couple of lights that run on rechargeable batteries that are softer.  Sometimes I need the bright light.

The one issue for me with these lights is they are so stark white, which is harsh on the eyes. I wish there was a way to make the light warmer? I was thinking on spraying on a translucent paint or taping the inside of the caps with something to warm them up? Any ideas?

Maybe something like this? Only issue will it be too yellow and not warm like normal warm lights.

Hi.  I ordered on Amazon as suggested and received two replacements.  No issue, just want backups.

Yep, I have replaced one. Found a Camping World near me and bought one for about $10. You need a #2 Phillips screwdriver, wire stripers and 2 orange wire nuts. Less than 10 minutes. I noticed the new one has a different switch. No clicking when pressed.
Out of curiosity, are you replacing yours because water got into it?
That's what happened to mine so I got up on the roof and applied some of that spray sealant you see advertised on TV around the exhaust fan housing.
Happy Camping.

BTW, honestly I use only the one over the sink and thought it might give out.  But I like having spares.  Now looking for light bulb replacements for outside trailer lights.  Replaced two, but not sure if same bulb is used for all outside lights.  Perhaps you also would know this?!?  Thanks again
